Joe Diffie goes live

Friday, August 8, 2008 – Joe Diffie is recording a live album tonight at Billy Bob's Texas, joining a slew of others who have done so.

"I have always wanted to record a live album but wanted to do it right," said Diffie. "Some of my favorite musical heroes, Willie and Haggard, taped live albums at Billy Bob's so it's a career highlight to record my live album in the same venue. I couldn't think of a better place."

There was no word on when or who would release the live disc.
